Soldiers Life

It seems so long ago
I can barely remmber the face of my family
In these trenches we have waited,

A week or a month or maybe
Even a year.
As the bombs never end
And I am waste deep in water,
wondering when will it end
I wait here thinking about why I am here,
But then the bombs stop bombing
And the gas begins to spread.
I put on my mask and turn around
And see to my right and left
Both my partners are suffocated
Then I hear the machine guns starting up

And my commander tells me to go
I climb out of this great big hole however
It reminds me more of a grave then a shelter

And I think it is time to give up,
This disaster will lead to nothing
And my body is worn to nothing
I get out of the trench charging forward,
I use to be a smart intellegent man
But what am I now, a dead worthless soldier.
